The star has donated the entirety of his £25k award winnings to the trust for venues, which operates to preserve the Britain's grassroots concert spaces.
Fender was given the prize on mid-October as his latest record his work was declared the best record of the past year.
The musician has opted to hand the money over to the trust, in recognition of the crucial part local spots had in his early career.
"I couldn't be pursuing what I am doing today if it weren't for all the performances I played around the area, and beyond, when I was beginning," said the artist. "These spaces are iconic, but they are facing challenges."
Beginning in 2023, at least 150 of these locations have ceased operations – approximately 16 percent of the total UK scene.
In the last year, major artists like Pulp, Coldplay, Katy Perry and Sheeran have all aided the MVT in its efforts to help venues survive, by including a minor surcharge to their admission fees, which goes to help independent venues.
He also joined in, raising more than £100,000 on his 2024 arena tour to assist thirty-eight local spots across England, Scotland, and Wales.
The money supported spaces that were confronting potential shutdown due to issues arising from flooding, fire incidents and personal losses, as well as regulatory hurdles, court cases and noise complaints.
Some locations received monetary aid in modernizing amenities and gear that helped performers and audiences.
"The notion that funds from performances in major spaces helps the independent spots, where it kicks off for artists like me, is just logical," the star has commented.
The musician is not the first artist to contribute his award winnings to charitable organizations.
Back when the band earned the prize in 1996 for their release Different Class, lead singer Jarvis Cocker announced that the group would give their cash to the non-profit the charity.
That year, rapper and singer the artist shared her award among a few charities, such as the NSPCC and a Sickle Cell charity.
"And I contributed a grand to Highgate Newtown, to their gymnastics class, because I trained in gymnastics when I was growing up and they needed better apparatus," she explained to the media.
In recent years, the band gave their funds to the youth organization that supported their group, alongside other independent music bodies.
And winners that year they gave their award to a charity for MS after a close contact was identified with the disease.
"The victory was sufficient," stated artist the singer. "The cash was the extra but we didn't require the bonus, because we had the cake. So our winning impacted somebody else's life."
In the past week, the trust shared it had rescued several small stages in south-east England, by transferring them to local control.
The Joiners in the city and the other in the city were acquired under the community ownership initiative, which is funded by a national body and supporters who acquire "stakes" in the buildings.
